ISThe Icelandic police, in collaboration with Europol and foreign law enforcement agencies, have conducted a large-scale investigation into a cocaine trafficking operation that brought 106 kilograms of cocaine to Iceland via a ship named Koznitza from Brazil. At least nine individuals, including three Icelanders, were arrested in connection with the case. The operation involved house searches and forensic analyses linked to Brazil, with authorities noting this is the largest cocaine seizure in Iceland's history. The seized drugs were found in a hidden compartment within the ship, which was reportedly disguised as a fishing vessel. Police emphasize that while they have identified some suspects, they cannot confirm if all involved have been apprehended. The case is part of a broader international effort to combat drug trafficking, and there are indications that the shipment may have been intended for sale in Iceland. Authorities have ruled out any direct connection to Sverri Þór Gunnarsson, a controversial figure in Iceland known as 'Sveddi Tön,' though they acknowledge the possibility of indirect links.
